Labor Day Weekend 2017 cast on.

Looking for a cozy sweater for this winter, with a simple vee neck and relaxed fit style. I’ve had this Rowan Summer Tweed Collection booklet for years, so going with the simple design of Basil by Kim Hargreaves and custom fit with Amy Herzog Designs

10/2017 - pieces ready to take to Seattle VKL 2017 for seaming class.

Trim - stockinette with #6 needles for 8 rows. Then change to #7 needles for the body.

Neckline: #6 needles knit 3 rounds, bind off purl wise with #7 needles.

love, love, love the design as I intended - however, my sweater grew over 2” from the intended finished measurements in the chest. Not so flattering with an already relaxed fit generated pattern. I’m always spot on with gauge, so wonder where I went wrong.
